tenance procedures you can be
injured by hot parts, moving parts,
electricity, chemicals or other haz-
ards.

______________
NOTICE
These engines have been
developed and validated using the
BRP XPS Synthetic blend oil. BRP
strongly recommends the use of its
XPS Synthetic blend oil at all times.
Damages caused by oil which is
not suitable for the engine will not
be covered by the BRP limited war-
ranty.
If the recommended XPS engine oil is
not available, use a 10W40 mineral en-
gine oil compatible with wet clutches.
NOTICE
NEVER use synthetic oil.
This would impair the proper op-
eration of the supercharger clutch.
Do not add any additives to the rec-
ommended oil. Mineral oils for API
service classification SM contain ad-
ditives (friction modifiers) that may
cause inappropriate slippage of the
supercharger and eventually lead to
premature wear.
Engine Oil Level
NOTICE
Check level frequently
and refill if necessary. Do not over-
fill. Operating the engine with an
improper level may severely dam-
age engine.
CAUTION Certain
nents in the engine compartment
may be very hot. Direct contact may
result in skin burn.
Oil level can be checked with water-
craft either in or out of water.
If Watercraft is Out of the Water
NOTICE
Watercraft must be level.
